Well, here we go again. Another movie adapted from a novel by the same name. The Martian was written by Andy Weir, and was a phenomenal success. One of our very own staff members, Jenny, turned us all onto this book and we fell in love with the survival story. We rooted for Mark Watney as he fiercely struggled to survive on the red planet all on his own. Then we heard that our new favorite book was being turned into a major motion picture starring Matt Damon...and we got scared. A few months ago we were fortunate enough to speak with the author, Andy Weir and ask him how he felt about his book being turned into a film (you can listen to that interview here). He was optimistic and positive about the whole experience. I went into the theater excited. I was hopeful. I was...not let down.
The Martian is set to hit theaters on October 2nd, 2015 and stars Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Michael Peña, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Kate Mara, Donald Glover, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
In anticipation for Ridley Scott's next sci-fi film The Martian (based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir, who we interviewed recently) we were given this little teaser clip introducing us to Mark Watney and the crew of the Ares 3...
I admit to be extremely skeptical about this film. I love all the actors involved, but I've heard nothing but bad things coming from the rumor mill, and while I know that I should ignore the internet when it comes to these things, I got wrapped up in the early negativity. After the first Fantastic Four trailer, I was admittedly impressed with the perceived storyline. Our family of heroes going to an alternate dimension instead of going into space to accidentally acquire their powers. It's not the traditional storyline, but its also not something foreign to this team. After seeing this new trailer, however, I'm all in and excited to see this reboot to the franchise.
After months upon months of speculating and arguing and just straight up angry tweets about the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, we finally have our first taste. The first official teaser (teasers for teasers, teasers, teasers for trailers...its getting to be a bit much) for the upcoming Josh Trank flick.
